If I choose purchase or engage in additional coaching services from DrLam.com, I agree to the additional Coaching Terms and Conditions

I am at least 18 years of age and when I am purchasing or engaging in health and nutritional coaching sessions which are offered by DrLam.com and will be delivered via a variety of methods including but not limited to telephone, email and online face to face video chat in real time over the Internet (one way or both), including initial and follow-up sessions (hereinafter collectively called Coaching Sessions) from Staff including but not limited to Dr. Lam (hereinafter called the Coaching Team).

I understand that the Coaching Team can only be a personal physician for me after a face-to-face examination. A Coaching Session does not offer that opportunity and accordingly I understand and agree that the Coaching Team will not and cannot be my personal physician under any circumstances.

State law allows any person to provide nutritional advice or give advice concerning proper nutrition - which is the giving of advice as to the role of food and food ingredients, including dietary supplements. This state law does NOT confer authority to practice medicine or to undertake the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, or cure of any disease, pain, deformity, injury, or physical or mental condition and specifically does not authorize any person other than one who is a licensed health practitioner to state that any product might cure any disease, disorder, or condition.

Therefore, I understand and agree that the Coaching Sessions and any follow up health coaching services do not replace individual medical care in any way, but instead constitute the provision of general nutrition care and information and/or a health education opportunity - not the diagnosis and treatment of an illness that I may have . Instead of being my doctor, ordering tests and prescribing medicine, the Coaching Team is only answering any questions that I may have as a general nutritional care, health and fitness information source.

Understanding that the above limitation is a requirement for purchasing or engaging in the Coaching Sessions, I hereby warrant and represent that I have my own treating physician in my local vicinity who will manage my ongoing care at all times while I am engaging the services of the Coaching Team and that my use of the information I obtain from the Coaching Sessions is at my own risk and I agree to consult and seek approval of my primary care physician of any health plan that the Coaching Team may have helped to formulate prior to my embarking on such a plan. I hereby indemnify and hold Dr. Lam, the Coaching Team, Staff and DrLam.com harmless for any actions or decisions taken by me in relying upon the Coaching Sessions.

I agree to work directly and regularly with my own primary care doctor who will manage my ongoing medical care in my local vicinity. I understand that the Coaching Team's health coaching services do not replace individual medical care in any way, but instead constitute general health education and a discussion of various opportunities - not the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses that I may have . I agree that the Coaching Sessions are not replacements of one-on-one consultation with a licensed health care practitioner or professional. I agree that the Coaching Team's objective is to provide me with general health information and nutritional care and diet options. I agree always to seek the approval of my personal treating physician prior to embarking on any heath care program or plan recommended to me by the Coaching Team.

I understand and agree that the Coaching Team is not available for any form of communication except during scheduled follow-up phone appointments. I understand and agree that when I directly request a laboratory test without my health care provider's knowledge that it is my responsibility to deliver all laboratory test results, now and in the future, to the said provider and to arrange with him/her for consultation and medical interpretation or opinion so that he/she can then diagnose and treat any disease that I may have. I understand and agree that the Coaching Team will only review those laboratory test results that are nutritional in nature ("Nutritional Test Results"), not for the purpose of diagnosing and treating any disease that I may have, but to establish optimal vs. sub-optimal levels of bodily function related to my nutritional status. I understand and agree that the above nutritional interpretation provided by the Coaching Team is not intended to, cannot, and should not be expected to substitute for the medical interpretation or opinion of the Nutritional Test Results by my own physician. I understand and agree that I will only receive a nutritional interpretation of the Nutritional Test Results from the Coaching Team. I agree to release and hold harmless DrLam.com, the Staff and Coaching Team from any claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of the use of, or reliance on the Nutritional Test Results by the Coaching Team.

I understand that the appointment dates and times are posted on DrLam.com immediately after the appointments have been made. I agree that it is my responsibility to verify their accuracy, and to notify the Coaching Team or DrLam.com within 24 hours after an appointment has been posted should there be any discrepancy.

I agree that a 2 business days advance notice is required for any rescheduling and/or cancellation of a scheduled Coaching Session . For example, if the appointment is made for Monday at noon, then the latest time for cancellation without any charge is the previous Thursday at noon.

I agree that DrLam.com or the Coaching Team may change the terms of providing the Coaching Sessions at anytime, including requiring any additional fees. I understand that the Coaching Team may refuse service to any one with or without cause. I agree to abide by any special terms and conditions governing Coaching Sessions when they are amended and published online on an ongoing basis at DrLam.com.

The Coaching Team cannot sign any insurance forms related to any heath or nutritional coaching services rendered to me. NO PRIVATE INSURANCE OR MEDICARE BILLING OR REIMBURSEMENT IS POSSIBLE.I understand that DrLam.com and the Coaching Team will NOT do any third party, Medicare or insurance billing, reporting, coding, processing, or annual expense reporting of any kind whatsoever (including any doctor reports, records to insurance companies, insurance report forms, etc.). I agree that the fees charged by the Coaching Team for services to be rendered to me MUST be paid by me prior to the services being rendered. I agree that no refund will be made by DrLam.com once my credit card has been charged or payment has been received from any source, regardless of outcome of the coaching effort by the Coaching Team.

I agree that nothing in any electronic or verbal communications between me and the Coaching Team and in any of the contents at DrLam.com is to be construed as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. I understand and agree that no doctor-patient relationship is established by any Coaching Sessions or Exchanges. No permanent records are kept by DrLam.com or the Coaching Team as part of their coaching service. I agree to always consult with my own doctor for diagnosis and treatments specific to my particular case. I understand that no statement made with regards to any products mentioned in any of the Coaching Sessions has been evaluated by the FDA.

I understand that I may be given a once in my lifetime chance to start talking to the Staff at no charge. Whether or not I am entitled to this free conversation period is determined by the management of DrLam.com at its sole and absolute discretionand it is limited to the first 10-15 minutes of the initial Coaching Session only. At the end of this free period, I will be given an opportunity to decide if I wish to continue, and if so, the fees to be charged. Should I decide to continue with the session after the initial free conversation period has expired, I agree to allow DrLam.com, its associates and Staff, including but not limited to the Coaching Team or any third party, to acquire, retain, and store my personal and financial information in relation to the providing and payment of the coaching services henceforth and for all sessions thereafter, including but not limited to my history, address, telephone number, credit card information. I hereby authorize DrLam.com, its associates and/or the Coaching Team to charge my credit card on file for any services rendered beyond the initial free conversation period. I understand that the information obtained will not be disclosed to third parties without my consent.

The Coaching Team will endeavor to set goals for me to meet them over time. I understand and agree that there is no explicit or implied guarantee or representation made by the Coaching Team that any coaching effort will be successful because each person is different and many other factors may come into play that can alter the outcome. I agree that no refund will be made once my credit card is charged or payment has been received from any source, regardless of outcome of the coaching effort by the Coaching Team. Any prepayment of a service has a valid period of 90 days. I understand that I will not be charged unless a mutual verbal coaching plan is established and agreed upon by me and the Coaching Team.
